Soufflé

Ingredients - Serves 4

• Cream of tartar - 1/4 teaspoon
• Egg whites - 5 large
• Gruyere cheese - 1 cup, grated
• Egg yolks - 4 large
• Cayenne pepper - 1/8 teaspoon
• Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
• Whole milk - 1 cup
• All-purpose flour - 3 tablespoons
• Parmesan cheese - 1/4 cup, grated
• Butter - 2 tablespoons

Let's Get Started

1. Preheat the oven to 375°F. Butter a 6-cup soufflé dish and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
2. In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the flour and cook, stirring constantly, until the paste cooks and bubbles a bit, about 2 minutes.
3. Add the milk, salt, and cayenne, bring to a boil while stirring. Once boiling, cook 2 minutes more, then remove from heat.
4. Beat in the egg yolks one at a time, then stir in the cheese.
5. In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites with cream of tartar until stiff but not dry.
6. Stir a quarter of the egg whites into the sauce to lighten it, then fold in the rest.
7. Pour the mixture into the prepared soufflé dish and bake until puffed and golden, 30 to 35 minutes.
